AIR Cross Promotion

Hello Everyone,
We're really excited to introduce a new capability called Cross Promotion in Adobe AIR for mobile devices in AIR 15 beta. Cross promotions can be effective in saving some amount of advertising cost. With the right partnership, you gain access to a wider customer base with a demographic similar to that of your application. This cross promotion is free and works on a credit system. All you need is to earn enough credit points by promoting other AIR games to begin your own promotion campaign. The AIR SDK offers the new AdViewer API for promotion campaigns as a SWC, it provides functions to load and show in-game advertisements. You earn credit points for promoting AIR games by other developers based on ad impressions and clicks. To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please follow www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/cross-promotion-of-air-games-mobile.html
Please try out the feature and share your feedback.
-Thanks
Adobe AIR Team

IPad Air crossed out play button in Safari

I am unable to watch any quicktime (mp4) embedded videos on Safari (or Chrome!) on my new iPad Air. It shows a crossed out play button. I have reset the cache and reset the iPad but it is still not working.
I noticed this yesterday when trying to watch the iPhone/Apple Watch Keynote. I thought it was an issue with the streaming servers but the bug is also affecting all other websites.

Don't restore just yet. Next I would reset all settings. Sometimes that can fix hinky issues. It's a bit of a pain as well, but you don't lose any data. You do lose all of your preferred settings and you will have enter them all again on the iPad.

Fast AIR cross platform pathfinder (a* or similar)

Hi,
I'm looking for a fast pathfinder solution for a cross platform game in AIR (for ios, android and web) with about 50x50 squares.
Any good solutions out there?
Thanks,
Andreas

set your text/field members to Arial *
Thanks, setting the text member to Arial* is something I needed to do, but even after selecting the embedded font it is still too small when going to the Mac. Somehow I need to increase the font size when publishing the Win app to the Mac. For whatever reason, Win Arial 10 looks larger on the screen than when it gets embedded and displayed on the Mac. My movies also have a hundred or so text fields in each so having to select a new font like Arial* is a lot of work. Can you please tell me how to automatically increase the size of the font from say 10 =>11 or 12 when going from Win to Mac without hours of work. I could see when I manually increased the Arial* 10 in Windows to Arial* 11 in the Mac that the font was almost big enough to fix my problem. How do I increase the font size when publishing from Win to Mac without having to do it manually?
That's because the monitor resolution on a mac is 96dpi vs. a PC's 72dpi... of course, the last time I worked on a mac for anything important it was OS 9, so I don't know if that's still true, but it would explain what you're seeing.

8/20/2014 - Beta - AIR 15.0.0.233 Runtime and SDK

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update
This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. You can download the AIR beta here: Download Adobe AIR 15 Beta - Adobe Labs
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 15. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
Stage3D “Standard” profile support for iOS and Android
In the Flash Runtime 14 release we introduced the Stage3D “Standard” profile which provided many advanced 3D features. At that time, the “Standard” profile was only available on desktop platforms. In the AIR 15 release we are extending this coverage to mobile platforms. If a device supports OpenGL ES3, it can successfully request the “Standard” profile and use the same advanced features as the desktop platform.
Relaxing Stage3D Render Target Clear
In previous versions of Stage3D, after switching the render texture through Context3D::setRenderToTexture, you were required to clear it before drawing. In this release, we're removing this limitation and optimizing the use of render textures. This change will allow you to further optimize and reuse depth and stencil buffers between different render textures.
StageText.drawViewPortToBitmapData now supports Retina displays
Currently, AIR will allow a bitmap with the same width/height of the StageText object to be passed into drawViewPortToBitmapData. While fine for standard resolution displays, this is not sufficient for Apple's Retina HiDPI displays. Based on customer feedback, we've altered the drawViewPortToBitmapData method to accept a doubled size BitmapData with StageText's view port on a Mac Retina display, and then draw a HiDPI image from the view port.
Improved Packaging Engine is now default - iOS
Starting AIR 15, new improved IPA packaging engine is now the default packaging mode when packaging for AOT targets ipa-app-store, ipa-test, ipa-ad-hoc and ipa-debug. If you encounter any packaging or runtime issues, please report at http://bugbase.adobe.com. To use older packaging mode, use "-useLegacyAOT yes" in the ADT command, before the signing options. To learn more about the feature, please follow http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ios-packaging-compiled-mode.html
AIR Gamepad Enhancements
AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces. Following enhancements are available starting AIR 15.
Multiplayer Support
Gyroscope Events
Magnetometer Events
Applying skin as AIR gamepad screen

About the Beta Channel
If you would like real-time notification for announcements related to the AIR Beta Channel please follow the Flash Runtime Announcements forums by choosing "Follow this forum" from the right-hand menu on the Forums page.
You can find instructions for getting started with this release here: AIR Labs Page

I've settled on the following workaround, which fixes the problem consistently, albeit with a slight flicker sometimes:
Check if you're on Android;
Add an ENTER_FRAME listener to the stage in the activation handler (called when returning to the app from an overlay displayed by a native extension);
Use a ticker to have 2 frames delay between the quality switch, anything quicker than that resulted in inconsistent or non-functional behavior for our app;
Switch from StageQuality.LOW to StageQuality.HIGH and back again. Going to MEDIUM and back did *not* result in a fix.
In my case, the code for the switch itself looks like this:
private function OnActivate(event:Event):void
     if (Settings.IS_ANDROID)
          _Ticker = 0;
          stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, OnEnterFrameFixGPUContextLoss);
private function OnEnterFrameFixGPUContextLoss(event:Event):void
     _Ticker ++;
     if (stage.quality.toLowerCase() == StageQuality.LOW) // stage.quality returns string in capitals
          stage.quality = StageQuality.HIGH;
     else
          if (_Ticker > 2)
               stage.quality = StageQuality.LOW;
               stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, OnEnterFrameFixGPUContextLoss);

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the response!
I started pointing to SDKs back when ANE support first came out and it was required to point to the OS5.1 sdk in order to get ANEs to work.
I had been specifying the sdk ever since, since it had been working for me, even though it was no longer needed.
I just tried removing that and letting AIR take care of using the right SDK and it seems to have solved my screen rotation issue!
Thank you so much for that!
I do have a lot of splash screens. Again I think this was left over from when I started using AIR back in 2011. At that point in order to get the splash screens working correctly I ended up having to add all the different versions. However, I'd love to get rid of most of them as they bloat my app size. I'll try removing most of them and do some testing to ensure everything works fine now without them. Although I suspect I should still also need the Default@2x~ipad.png
Thanks again for your help!
Craig.

Air QR code generator/reader

Anyone have any current recommendations for Air QR code generator and reader (ANE, lib)?
I need a solution that will:
1) Generate a text/string QR code in Air desktop
2) Generate a text/string QR code in Air cross-platform mobile app (android or iOS). Same code base as #1.
3) Scan the QR code on cross-platform mobile device (android, iOS) from within my Air app.
I see a lot of search results for various ways, but so far nothing cross-platform.
Thanks!
Don

Hi Sbhave.
Thanks for your response.
I still need to read the post but it certainly looks interesting.
I think it explains how I can make a QR Code having contact details.
I got your AS3 Qr Code reader to work and it reads a QR Code BEAUTIFULLY, even a VCard. Now your code simply reads the QR Code and outputs the read to a window. Your code doesnt tell the mobile device what to do with the output. Now it is easy enough to add some code which, if the data is a web address, will go to that webaddress. However if I have used your QR Reader (in AS3) to read a vcard how do I code the Reader so that it knows that it must add the contact info to my mobile devices contacts list and can actually do this ? I have some commercial QR Code readers which use the Zing Library and recognise that its a Vcard and give the choice to save to the contacts list.
Thanks
Paul

IPad Air 2 upgrade

I traded in my old iPad 2 as part of the $100 towards an iPad Air 2 promotion. I received a $75 gift card and $25 coupon to use towards a new iPad Air 2. I price matched the iPad Air 2 to Target and they therefore said I could not use the $25 coupon since it was a combining offer. Is this right? Is a price match to a competitor a combining offer? That does not seem clearly laid out. Thanks for the help!

Hello Thinkblind7,
Best Buy's Price Match Guarantee is a great way to get the best price for your purchases. I was very happy to see that you wished to take advantage of that offer as well as the coupon you received for your trade-in, but dismayed that you were disappointed when you were informed that they could not be combined.
As jsx2 stated, our Price Match Guarantee cannot be combined with coupon offers:
Our Price Match Guarantee does not cover: Any financing offers, bundle offers, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers...
I hope this helps clarify why your coupon could not be applied to your new iPad Air 2 purchase. Please know I'm grateful that you wrote to us with your query.
Sincerely,

IPad Air 2 PM rejected

Yesterday, around 2:30PM I drove to the local Best Buy. I went in to pricematch the iPad Air 2 promotion that was going on, where you get a $50 gift card with the purchase of any iPad Air 2. 8 days prior, I'd purchased an iPad Air 2, and per the Best Buy Price Match policy, I expected to be able to bring in a receipt and walk out with a $50 gift card.
I went over to the Customer Service counter and explained my request. I gave them my receipt. The person at the counter was new, and was unsure of how to accomplish that or whether this was allowed, so they called over someone more experienced. 2nd person came over, and looked over my receipt. To be fair, my receipt is sort of complicated for this transaction. I'd saved up Reward Zone certificates for months prior to purchase. I accumulated coupons to use on the purchase (I used a Mover's Coupon and a $50 off coupon from trading in my iPad 3 to Best Buy), so I patiently waited as they looked over the mess of deductions on the receipt.
They then said they were unsure if I could, since there was a trade-in coupon used on the transaction. So they went off to ask someone senior. I waited patiently while they went over and talked to a 3rd person, a manager. After a couple of minutes, I walked over to them and asked what's up. They rejected my PM request due to the use of a Mover's Coupon. I thanked them and left. I didn't have time to argue that this isn't an issue for people buying iPads right then (as I read on multiple online forums), nor did a coupon dequalify purchases from promotions (again, from multiple forums, I read people able to get this PM). I've learned that you only expend time arguing with managers if you have the time and documentation, and I lacked both time and documentation, which would require another Mover's Coupon.
So I come here, hoping a moderator can assist me. I wasted the better part of an hour just making the trip, and had to leave quickly so I could make it to a friend's party. Had I the time, extra coupons, and RZ certs, I would have just bought another iPad then and there to get the deal.
-Proud CAGer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Keen,
Sorry for the disappointing experience, and you should have been given a definitive reason if this price match request was rejected by one of our stores. I’m not sure if these coupons can be combined or not, but it is correct that price match requests are not valid on free gift card offers.
I would like to see if there is any action I can take to resolve this for you, and am sending you a private message. To check your messages you should log into the forum, and then click on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
Thanks for posting,

Audio dropout, movie sync, transition problems IDVD9

I created a 55 minute DVD slideshow. Looks great on computer, but when I burn it the following errors occur:
Audio drops out for about 5 seconds intermittently
Placed two avi movies. Didn't duck audio, but movie audio starts playing before clip airs
Cross fade transitions: When when one picture transitions to the next, the first picture ghosts in the background of current picture.
Working on brand new mac mini, IDVD9 1gb memory. Any advise would be appreciated.

in fact from the apple specs for G4:

Downloading a Trial version of Flash

Hi
I recently learnt of the Subscription edition for Adobe creative Suite 4 design premium being offered in Australia & I wanted to download a trial version of Flash (which is one of the programs I am most interested in) to see if it would be worth subscribing.However when I go to download the trial it seems to be a requirement that you are part of an organistion just to demo the blasted program (when trialing Photoshop it asked for no such thing) Is there a Demo version of Flash available for those us who aren't studying & who aren't part of a big organistion because it seems pretty lame to make a trial verison so inaccessible. I'm actually looking into starting a small Cartoon business that could use the program & I'll be darned if I'm gonna buy it before trying it but my business idea could not be implemented untill some time in the future.
Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Not yet, but you get a free bag of trail mix with the trail
version. Pretty
cool cross promotion don't you think?

Manipulating iframe content

Hello,
I face some problem, i am using jquery as my framework, and i got an issue with the iframe content.
What i want to do is the load external website into my iframe (random website url from my database), and to insert my script into header (i want to do something like greasemonkey does on firefox).
Here's my code:
$('iframe').contents().find('header').append('<script>My user script</script>');
The problem is that this doesn't work, when i tried to do $('iframe').contents().find('header').html() returns nothing...
I knew this was a limitation in html because of cross domain, but adobe air isn't restricted to that, so what am i doing wrong here?

I'm not versed in the AIR html security model, so I'm going to forward this over to our webkit team. My hunch is you are running into a security related restriction. If you haven't already, please take a look at the following pages:

Thanks,

How to change Description without "You must chose a build" error?

When I release a new product, I make my other products free as a way to cross-promote by adding text like, "Tap Happy is live! To celebrate, enjoy XYZ FREE for a limited time!" With the new iTunesConnect interface, I cannot save changes to my description, support links, and the like for my existing products without getting the error:
"You must chose a build"
Obviously, I cannot upload a new binary for seven LIVE products (ex The Gratitude Habit, Tap Happy, What Went Well, ...), just to change the description. Help!

Your example can be circumvented by users that have javascript disabled or potential hackers that may be automomating the process of submitting your form remotely. For instance, anyone can create a form using your code and change the "action" to go to your processing script:
<form method="post" action="http://yourwebsite.com/mail.php">
    <p>First Name</p>
    <p><input type="text" name="name" size="20" /></p>
    <p>Email</p>
    <p><input type="text" name="email" size="20" /></p>
    <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
</form>
Then they can visit the form they've created and saved on their desktop or wherever it's located and submit it without entering data or, more importantly, inserting mailicious code
Consider yourself warned!
The best way to validate user input is to use a server side script like the example I provided in the first reply. There's plenty of examples if you google javascript form validation or look at the source code at:

Adobe flash player, is it in ios5?

Adobe flash player, is it in ios5?

So I went ahead an coughed up the $4.99 it cost to get a copy of photon. The way it works is that when you visit a web page ith flash on it, you can click the lightning bolt icon to actually render the flash content on the screen. You literally can have a mouse based on where you touch and all of the animations run as designed. The problem is that the page is rendered on a server somewhere, then the rendered images are sent back to the browser. Now THAT is a pretty awesome bit of engineering!
Here's the problem though; network lag. Wait, scratch that ... reverse it. The problem is Apple has blocked Flash. However, this particular project has given me an ide for what I think Adobe should actually do.
Adobe should release their OWN broswer on the app store, that supports flash content with an embedded Flash player the way chrome embeds it on the desktop. That way it's just another browser for ipad you can download (they could even charge for it) that has the flash player inside. They've already shown they can cross compile the Flash runtime into apple code with their AIR cross compiler, why not just create and release the AIR browser; a breath a fresh air for us silly sods that are "stupid" enough to want Flash on our ipads.
It would be a interesting to see if people would download such an app if Adobe did this. I know I would! Plus they could roll out updates to the Flash player via the container "app".

Issue with iPad air trade in promotion.

I went to the Rego Park NYC Bestbuy store (Store 483) today and tried to trade in my iPad 4 32GB wifi because of this promotion.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/trade-in-offer-129347?ref=199&loc=iH2PRtf/I7g&acampID=1&siteID=iH2...
The girl from customer service did not know anything about it so I asked for a manager. The manager knew about the promtion and took my iPad. She offered me $246 in gift card but she said that I will not receive the $50 trade in coupon toward a new iPad Air 2 purchase. I aruged briefly with her but she insisted that was how it works because the promotion can only guarantee a minimum trade in value of $200 and since my iPad 4 has a trade in value of $246, it will not be considered as an eligible tablet. Could someone from Bestbuy explain how this promotion really work? Because it doesn't make sense at all if i do not get both the gift card and the $50 coupon. I read about this promotion from various forums and lots of people getting both the gift card and the coupon.

Hello TommyLai,
I have to say I’m rather bummed that I don’t have an older iPad model to trade in. With the gift card and coupon provided with this offer, you could potentially get a new iPad Air or mini at half price (or close to it)! I’m disappointed to hear that our Rego Park location wasn’t quite up to speed with the promotion though, leaving you absolutely confused and without a cool new iPad. I’m truly sorry for this oversight.
According to our Trade in and Trade up promotion, you should have received either a $175.00 or $200.00 gift card for your trade in. Because your iPad 4 was worth more than those amounts, you were correctly offered more than the guaranteed minimum. This shouldn’t have disqualified you from receiving the coupon though. As long as you were intending to purchase the item listed on the coupon, it should have been provided with your trade-in receipt.
I’d like out to local leadership at our Rego Park location and provide them with the necessary details about this promotion. However, I’m unable to locate your Best Buy account, and I’d like to provide them with as many details as possible for further reference. Please know that I’ve sent you a private message to collect some information. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
